My 1984 Outrage 25 has plenty of strength in the unreinforced part of the transom for big 14x12 trim tabs that I've used for 7 years since I installed them. People have speculated that the unreinforced area may need, but I'm not aware of any case where there was actually a problem, and I'm aware of numerous people who have installed them in the unreinforced part.

Thinking about putting trim tabs on 20 outrage... anyone have thoughts on tab size and mounting location? i have read that mounting them on the outer most part of transom is a bad idea because of high stress points on the unreinforced portion of the transom...
